The place you will stay as a volunteer can be either a lovely tiny house or a spacious yurt tent. We have two tiny houses: one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. The tiny houses face the most beautiful mountains, which look different every day. From foggy clouds in the morning, with the first rays of sunlight shining over the mountains, to the sunset, when the entire mountain turns golden. In the colder months of the year, we recommend volunteers bring clothes for all types of weather, as it can cool down quite a bit at night. Of course, we provide extra blankets when needed, and as soon as the sun starts shining, it warms up really quickly.
A highlight of our accommodation is our Lotus Yurt Glamping tent. With 12 m² of space, it offers a comfortable and unique glamping experience. The yurt is spacious enough to stand upright in and can comfortably accommodate two beds. Windows provide plenty of fresh air and beautiful views of the surrounding landscape, while the skylight lets natural light flood the interior. Its innovative design blends beautifully into the surroundings, creating a cosy and airy atmosphere, enhanced by the use of natural materials, mainly cotton. It's a lovely place to relax and enjoy your stay close to nature.
Daily amenities are located outside. Next to our tiny houses, we have an outdoor kitchen with a fridge. All the basic amenities are provided, so there is no need to bring your own (unless it's something very specific, of course). On the other side of the tiny houses, we have our shower and sink for washing dishes. The shower has hot water for roughly 10 minutes before the boiler needs to heat up again. Next to the sink, we have a nice relaxing area with a wooden bench and hammock. It is positioned to catch the shade during the hottest part of summer, providing enough shaded space for all volunteers.
The toilet is a compost toilet. This is a bit different from what most of you are used to, but once you know how the system works, it's really not that bad! We use bioplastic bags for this toilet and compost the material, so nothing goes to waste!
There is no Wi-Fi at the campsite, but the cellular service in Poșaga de Jos is very good! You can also get unlimited data from eg. Vodafone EASY for roughly €4 per month. There is electricity at the campsite.
For meals, volunteers prepare their own food. There are two stores in the village: one where you can pay by card and one that only accepts cash. There is no ATM in the village. Of course, when crops are ready to be harvested, some of the food for volunteers comes straight from the garden.
